Richardson Defends Free Trade, But Not for Obama, Exactly
Bill Richardson thinks that when it comes to Barack Obama's position on Nafta, an agreement which he calls "a plus, a slight plus, at least for my state," voters should look at Illinois Senator's record.
"He voted for the Peru Free Trade Agreement," said Richardson, who immediately proceeded to make it clear that he was in no way speaking for Obama or his campaign. "You've got to be realistic," he said, and "you've got to deal with globalization."
Richardson said that during his ill-fated candidacy, he became more aware of the antagonism to Nafta in the Midwest, and the anxiety about free trade among the middle class around the country.
"I'm a free-trade Democrat. I'm also an endangered species in the Democratic Party," said Richardson.

HEY DEMOCRATS --- HOW ABOUT "FREE TRADE" FOR THE DOMESTIC OIL INDUSTRY? LET THEM DRILL ON USA LANDS AND WATERS. THAT WILL BE 'REAL' FREE TRADE HERE AT HOME.
WHAT IS WITH JUDAS? Is he not a happy camper, I would not be either. We are also endangered species just like you and we vote. Obama is running too, away from quesions and you say it is an honor to run with Obama. Still with Hillay in AUGUST 2008.
